I/Alphabe-Thursday

 Pine needles coated with ice

I is for ICE/ICICLES

 All three photos are from my archives. So far this year I haven't seen much ice or many icicles that I've wanted to photograph. But I'm sure I will someday soon.

 Icicles created by waves washing over rock

Willow branches coated in ice during last winter's ice storm

    Your photos certainly express the cold weather that is hanging on here.

    I have never seen ice like this on plant material and these shots are fabulous.

    It's really interesting to observe the various ice formations.

    Very pretty, but I'm sorry, I have become partial to palm fronds waving in the breeze at the beach! :)

    The first photo is beautiful! Ice can be lovely, but also dangerous! I don't mind if we miss out on it this year.

    Ice can be sort of magical to me as we don't get that much of it here.

    Great shapes and forms for your excellent photos, but they give me a chill just looking at them.

    A coating of ice can make the mundane look magical. Too bad it also can be so damaging.

    Ice does make things look dramatic, but nice that you haven't had any this year. Pretty mild here so far too.

    Oh I would go out in search of these to photograph if I lived there but fortunately I do not live there. The pine needle one is great.

    Each one of these is stunning, and is ice in a different form. As I got to each picture, I was oohing and ahhing. Wonderful.

    I love when the ice crusted branches of the willow chime in the breeze. . . .

    Very beautiful. We haven't had much for pretty icicles this year either. I'm fine with not having lots of ice.

    Hi Tina,
    Wonderful photos!
    The 2nd one, icicles on the rock formed by waves, was a really nice surprise.
    Peace :)

    the pine needles look really cool. And I always love icicles near running water. Something about opposites are so enticing! {:-Deb

    I think icicles are beautiful the way they reflect light and the objects from which they hang. You always capture the beauty of things most people take for granted. Lovely photos.

    Beautiful pictures, they remind me of the time when we lived in Delaware and there was an ice storm and the trees were all bent over with the ice. I never see that kind of extreme here in Northern Ireland. dropping in from Alphabe Thursday.
